Organize Phone Photos into Albums Monthly
The Problem
You have 15,000 photos on your phone. Finding any specific one requires scrolling for 5 minutes.
The Hack
Once a month: create albums (Vacations, Family, Food, Screenshots, Work). Spend 10 minutes sorting recent photos into albums. Delete bad photos, screenshots you no longer need, and duplicates.
Why It Works
Albums create instant access to any category of photo. Instead of scrolling chronologically through thousands, you go directly to 'Vacation 2025' and find what you need in seconds.
Pro Tips
- iPhone: create albums in Photos app — drag photos in
- Delete screenshots monthly — they're 30-50% of most people's camera rolls
- Google Photos: search by date, location, or even content ('beach')
- Favorites album: star your best photos for quick access
